ted up with coops the wagon they had;
they brought in the other horse from
the hills and made preparations for two
trips weekly, one of forty-five miles TO
Sorocco and return, the other forty-iive
miles to Chloride and return, each trip
going out to be loaded with "broilers"
or 'stews' and returning with green
backs and gold. Never did two men
feel more light-hearted and apparently
with better cause The 5000 chickens
had cost them exactly 1900 cents apiece
to raise, equal to 81 800. They had ex-
pended several hundred in preparations
for Matching, feeding, etc.
The day for the first days marketing
came. One went with this first INSTALL
ment to the plaza Of Socorro, while the
other remained to watch, feed and
house the flock. Three days was the
allotted time for a trip. Only at the
expiration of the fourth did the wag-
oner return. He had lost money on the
cargo of ''spring broilers." Next morn
ing, with five hundred more, the other
partner, boasting his success at bar
gaining, started for Chloride, to be
gone three days. Promptly on the
evening of the third day he returned,
bringing the chickens with him! There
was not human being in Chloride
even the cabins looked lonesome there.
a council was called. 1t consisted of
the two men and the chickens. The
last had little to say on the occasion.
1t was decided that one should go
! to Socorro and try to contract the
| entire lot at COST then, with their
original capital in hand, and swallow
| ing the loss of seasons work, they
would "strike OUT for new fields.
Early next morning, mounted on the
fastest horse of the two in camp, the
partner started. Reaching Socorro, he
saw that it was unusually full of people,
and his heart leaped for Joy. In ten
minutes after his arrival, however, he
heard a crier yelling: "Kansas chick
ems, only forty cents a pair. or twenty
cents a piece" Inquiry disclosed the
fact that the Kansas people, where
fowls are almost grown without cost, had
shipped car loads to that market. The
partner spoke not a word to a Socorro
man. Remounting he rode back to the
'oil hatchery" A short consultation
was held. 1t was determined to hurry
out of the country lest somebody should
come and take their horses. And then
these young men turned loose in those
mountains five thousand fine, fat spring
chickens. ready for the table, to become
food FOR the coyotes, hawks and foxes.
They made their way out by degrees.
! The writer met them months after in
the town of Albuquerque, Barnadillo
county, Il New Mexican metropolis
afterward and now. They were sad
dened, but not subdued. Both went to
work for one of the most successful and
best men in that country. They are both
to-day at work in Butte and doing well.

added to the usual round Of amusements.
Every Sunday morning the Royal host

way through avenues of old Scotch hrs,
and across broad green meadow, to the
quaint little church Of Mary Magdalene.
All their guests and household accompany
them, and when they are seated, only

The church is built of the dark Norfolk

battlements, with ivy that lends its gentle
charm; and over the door, in a niche,
stands the we'll carved figure of guardian
